Chapter 141: Unfortunate Kyubi (2)

"Go on," Kai snickers, "Show me what changed in these—"

His voice is cut short when two claws made of orange-red chakra tears out of the ground underneath and grab his ankle, surprising him momentarily. He glances at Kushina's feet with understanding flickering in his gaze as she giggles.

"Surprised? No, now you're feeling comprehension... wait, now it's confusion— oh, wait—"

"I get it," Kai rolls his eyes, "You can sense emotions and your chakra can form solid at will. It passed through the ground from your heels and only became solid now to grab me."

But then he laughs, "What am I feeling now?"

As expected, Kushina has a strange expression and she stares at him dumbly. Now he felt her confusion and surprise.

'Anything can be translated into Chakra. This was also the base of the skill [Chakra Empath.] Hiding it is also a convenient thing to do,' Kai, however, stops doing that and once again stares at Kushina as he lets his gaze roam. She has a lot to grow so clearly, he couldn't think about her as is but hey, he could imagine, right?

Kushina instantly grows flustered and hisses, "Stop thinking that! Whatever it is you are thinking!"

Kai suddenly reappears behind her, his hand whipping out and smacking right onto her chakra-coated perky bottom as he reminds her, "Sensing emotions and keeping calm after sensing them is a completely different matter."

Pain flares on her bottom as the convenient 'numbness' also brought a strange sense of relief as she grits her teeth and a giant claw made out of chakra shot out from her back, slamming Kai against the tree and gripping him tightly!

She quickly turns around, glaring at him but Kai chuckles calmly, "You always had great chakra control. I can assume that you can form solid chakra constructs out of any part of your body... so why are you restricting yourself?"

When it came to training, despite his actions, Kai remains serious. It's a moment of growth. It needs to be taken seriously. His question stumps Kushina while Mikoto and Nono think seriously about what they would achieve if they has this strength.

"Because we're humans. Hands, more often than not, become a part of the body used the most extensively. We are capable of controlling it to a great extent even if it's made out of chakra," Kai answers and clears Kushina's doubt since this is really just an instinctive reaction. Kushina, too, would have noticed this after a few battles but at their level, these battles can prove fatal. The quicker she learns more about herself, the better.

"But since you can form anything... you could have wings on your back, and blades of chakra shooting out in all directions. You could turn your body massive, too, like a giant beast or something. After all, you are one of the rare individuals on the planet who does not need to care about chakra expenditure. You can willingly form layers and folds of chakra to increase your defense, but turning it solid would lower your speed. Heck, you can propel yourself forward by pushing chakra down like actual springs."

As Kai kept on going, not only Kushina but even Mikoto and Nono were in a daze. Not only them, but Kyubi also sat wide-eyed as its skill is beings dismantled in front of its eyes.

'Seriously... who is this kid?'

Kyubi's large eyes blink dumbly.

The next second, Kai smiles gently, "But of course, the mind can only do so many tasks at once even when fighting. Our bodies instinctively prioritize actions based on our experience and training. Right now, you can only form hands because it's the easiest. If I were the enemy, next time, you should extend solid blades of chakra and skewer them."

Kushina gulps. Even though she couldn't have realized the destructive potential of such a skill but Kai always thinks of ways to quickly kill the enemies in the mission. It just so happens that the quickest ways are often brutal.

Kai once again disappears from the grasp of chakra but this time another hand forms out from Kushina's butt, directly attacking him as he snickers, "Good, learning the pattern," but then his hand still smacks, and disperse the chakra hand, his palm landing a swift smack that makes her jumps slightly with a yelp once more!

*Ugh*

Kushina seemed to have imagined hearing Kyubi's groan but Kai's words soon calm her, "Is this what you practiced in seven days? It's good that you can control these chakra extensions greatly."

He shrugs. This kind of skill would truly catch others by surprise and his compliment, thus, is a sincere one.

But he soon adds, "If not on yourself, add folds of chakra on the construct you create, specifically, the area you want to defend. Else, anyone with higher strength can destroy it."

She huffs loudly and turns around, rage building in her gaze but this time she has a serious look, too.

"This isn't all," she retorts as two giant hands grow out of her back but this time, both of these hands form a seal. Just as Kai and others focus on the seal, Kushina uses her unimaginably quick speed to arrive before Kai with a sneaky grin, "Gotcha—"

A palm held her face and slammed her into the ground with web-like cracks spreading out as Kushina hears the mocking tone, "Bitch, please. I could see that attack miles away. Next time, actually form an attack to attract attention. You have only trained but haven't been able to go out on too many missions... the last time you seriously fought was during Dan's betrayal. You need more time to adapt to the tactics with such a skill."

As he pulls his arms away, Kushina pouts, still unharmed as the cloak disappears from her body.

"This isn't fair! You're younger than me! Why can't I defeat you?!"

"We're both the same age," Kai deadpans.

"Tch, not physically, dattebane! You cheated and grew by 3 years! Mentally! I'm older mentally!"

"Nah, mentally, I'm way older," Kai shrugs and states the truth but when you have a package so great, nobody cares about the honest interior and his truth goes unnoticed.

Kyubi sits silently in the dark space. Its gaze flashes in contemplation. It rarely feels so strange but aside from the sensation of the damn 'log' between the hindlimbs just because its jinchuriki is a sleepy slob and would be on top of the youth religiously every night, Kyubi feels more aware...

That's the right word.

Aware.

'Ever since I was sealed here with the other half in that Old Bitch, I've constantly felt a sense of loss. The longer the Yin Half and Yang Half remain separate, the more permanent this situation will grow until its irreplaceable.'

'Without coming into contact and using Ninshu... we won't get to know what the other one has felt and experienced. But the truly troublesome thing is...'

Kyubi's gaze flickers. It could view everything around Kushina. She still hasn't fully grasped just how many things she can learn and achieve with their new relationship but that isn't Kyubi's concern. Since she 'stole' its chakra, she deserved to die, too... well... that's what Kyubi consoles itself with.

'The world is shifting because of it. Uzumaki is supposed to be the arrangement left by father but they're the cause of it! Khe! The irony... but if I can feel it, my other half will, too, and so will the other tailed-beast. To 'cut' me open and break the balance of Yin and Yang has dangerous implications. It's been years. It was extremely minute at first but I can feel a sliver of the cause that led to our creation...'

The beast's gaze turns worried, 'It would not be the case if the Yin half or my half was sealed in another dimension or even destroyed. One of us would have gotten enough strength and kept it sealed. That is why we can't die. A living creature's purpose in life is to die. It's the cycle of life. But our purpose is to act as a seal...'

It suddenly grumbles and lies down silently, 'Whatever. Actions have consequences. If the world is set to be doomed, I hope it's my bijudama that acts as a straw that breaks the Hippo-Camel's back...'

Just at this moment, all of its tails stood up and it felt a firm grab on its 'base.'

"Damn you two!"

It howls in anger!

"Hmm?" Kushina sleepily wakes up. Her head is pressed sideways on Kai's chest as she can feel a lot more than his calm heartbeats. But she's used to it. The firm grip on her cheeks is as comforting to him as it is lying on him for her.

'Did someone shout?'

She lazily lets her gaze roam. Mikoto sleeps on one side and Nono on the other. It's really training in its own way to sleep peacefully between all of them.

Must have been the wind.

She shrugs and quietly lies down.

Far away, in a distant, mountainous region with the bare minimum of vegetation but large chunks of dark red rocks and huge boulders, a pure-white-furred rabbit with ruby-red eyes suddenly sticks its head out and looks on vigilantly.

Its cute snowy-white ears twitch at times. Even in such a dusty region, not a single speck of dirt marred its skull-sized body. The whiskers on its face tremble and sway softly by the dry wind.

It quietly watches the surroundings and finally moves out.

A tiny white body bounces and hops on a large scale of dark red dirt.

*Tsssrshrhrhrhrh*

A soft rattling sound blows and is guided by the wind, letting it reach the rabbit's ears.

The cute ball of fur comes to a stop, afraid of making any sudden movements.

Its ruby-like beady eyes once again observe the surroundings and it feels something 'crawling' behind.

*Shaaa*

A venomous Red Soil Rattle Snake suddenly pounces on the rabbit from behind. Its sharp fangs are laced with deadly poison but it falls to the ground. The snake promptly cuts off its attack and doesn't let his tail rattle anymore. Its pitch-black eyes stare at the Rabbit with fear, love, awe, and an innate reverence.

The Rabbit silently keeps on looking at the snake. The rabbit's pupils reveal a look of animalistic hunger, unlike its cute appearance.

It is as contrasting as the white rabbit on the large scape of red earth.

*Phew*

An arrow pierces the snake but it doesn't coil in pain. Its gaze was already empty.

And the hunger in the Rabbit's gaze is long gone, too.

"Miss Shiro Akane! Hmph, you just love watching me get worried, running off so far from the village and all!"

A tall, bronze-skinned woman with a somewhat muscular frame walks up to the rabbit and picks it up in her embrace before pouting in a matter unbefitting her frame.

She looks at the snake and feels a little strange...

Something felt missing. As a hunter by hobby, she has great aim but lacks the necessary knowledge of the animals so she cannot pinpoint what is missing. josei

But still, she huffs and strokes the Rabbit's head lovingly while walking away.

A lone white in the world of red.

A predator hid in the body of a prey.

A Hunter who is willing to get skinned for a furry creature instead.

If it's not coincidental irony...
